I'm new, but I can always appreciate criticism! I also have a private HMD, if public criticism bothers you.

The Tenth Doctor | rude_not_ginger | Private HMD (http://wontplaythesap.livejournal.com/1114.html)

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

Okay so I have yet to troll the Doctor, but I've been stalking admiring from afar, and I think you're absolutely brilliant! Technically I knew this from before at RS, but your awesome still abounds. His voice is spot on, and I am continually impressed by your flair with convincing technobabble. So yes, A+.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

Soooo admittedly I haven't seen Tin Man, alas, but you make me want to, so much. Glitch is absolutely delightful, always entertaining, frequently hilarious, and I really enjoy reading him. So yes, general sentiments of love here, despite a lack of canon knowledge.

[spauren.livejournal.com]

Buffy Summers → likeajoan
Xander Harris → demonmagnetism
Malcolm Reynolds → skyfrome

Have at them, and they all have HMD posts on their journals, if you'd prefer to use those! Also: FFFF I know I have been so fail with Mal the past month, and I'll be making every effort to fix that in January, upon my honour.

[aintnoconvict]

This game is always praised for its BtVS/AtS cast, and there is a reason for this. Greatness attracts greatness, and yes this is me calling you great - along with the rest of the cast because there are a lot of instances of "great" in this sentence. Your Buffy fills me with glee and I will happily stalk and troll her forever, and I cannot wait to do likewise with Xander.

And Mal will very likely be next ♥

I will be all over this baby later, when my brain is actually awake >:]

[fluorescentness.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHA Cordelia, omg. I love her. So much. I've only seen season one of Buffy, but I am very happy to say that your Cordelia is exactly the fashion-y drama-y queen of everything that I want her to be.

Having seen your Cordelia and then watching the show, I love that they match up so well, is basically what I'm saying. I suck at being clear. xD

River Tam | biverbam

Private HMD on her journal, etc. etc. I know I've been horrendously slow lately. Mostly it's been personal reasons and having too many vegetables on my metaphorical mind-plate, BUT. Most of them have been eaten by productivity so I can more fully dive in and consume delicious candy cr at a rate that's less "one taxonbon at a time as restraint is a virtue /nun" and more "I will need Oompa Loompas to sing about the failure of my gluttony." ...that metaphor kinda. Ran into the ground but y'all got it I'm sure.

I'm also all about getting crit for the Buddy glitch. I'm aware I failed pretty spectacularly there, which was a combination of personal fail and that making an NPC driven plot happen during the holidays was not the most stellar planning ever. So, any thoughts on what can be improved? Changed? Done differently? I want them all. Like the bonbons. All the bonbons.

[faderbroderson]

I swear, I'm going to sound like a broken record on every one of these HMD post, but ~BEST RIVER EVER~. Seriously, I'm so glad I get to play with your River, Gidge. I wish I could give you some incredible nugget of crit that you could treasure, but tbh you play her better than I ever could.

For the Buddy glitch, honestly I think we're all way too busy during the holidays and it's too much to ask you or anyone to have an NPC running around and being active. Maybe in the future it would be better to start the Christmas glitches/events well before Christmas (like Black Friday, even), so that everyone has a chance to get the ball rolling.

IDK, just...something that will allow us to have a Christmas event while simultaneously keeping anyone from having to expend more than the minimal time and effort. :x

Toby Logan | (The Listener) | notcursed
Dexter McDuff | (Original Character) | dexmcduff
Ethan Ford | (Original Character) | fordification
Shane Hayes | (Original Character) | shaneonyou

... Never before has my cast of OCs outweighed my fandom characters. Whoa.

ANYWAY, inb4 "ACE, TAG MORE WITH OTHER PEOPLE GDI". D8 I just wanted to say that I realise that I need to branch out with everybody, and I'm really going to work on that in the coming months. Trust me, I feel like a jerk and I want to fix it. :(

Any other comments, concrit, whatever - go ahead. I'd especially like to know how you're seeing the OCs, since... they're OCs. ♥ Thanks, guys!

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

I've always enjoyed reading Toby and Dean's threads. These guys click so well that I've always felt that each is a part of the other's canon, or something :D

Also? I have a soft spot for characters that Cordy banters with, so Ethan is fabulous in my book. Plus I look forward to trolling Shane. I think I've already told you or Flurry this, but your backstory with these glampires is just making me go :DDDD. ♥

[egregiouslypink.livejournal.com]

OKAY.

In play currently, I have:

Dawn Summers | tothelibrary
Faith Lehane | thesecondslayer
Simon Tam | adpartesdolent

Simon has not been reintro'd yet, so... sob. Yes. HE WILL BE, BUT RIGHT NOW HE'S A TECHNICALITY.

I know my activity has been spotty with a side of awful lately; real life decided the month of December needed to be stressful and insane and full of people I love in the hospital, so I definitely slacked on RP stuff.

Hooooooooowever things seem to be easing up, so I should be back in the swing ASAP.

I think that's it! Crit away, my loves. ♥

NO I LIED, HERE: HAVE A GIF.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

That GIF. OH JASON STACKHOUSE.

OKAY in reverse order because that's how I roll:

I know you haven't reintro'd yet, but your Simon was brilliant. The sarcasm, the slightly aloof awkwardness, the brotherly protectiveness, the occasional derpy moments? All there and all excellent. I could always hear his voice in your tags.

Faith. What can I say about your Faith? She's just... perfect. I have seen a lot of Faiths around and yours is emphatically the best I have seen. Her voice is spot on, as is her characterization-- I particularly love how much thought you put into the impact her life has had on her, and how that affects her and her behaviour. You really delve into why she is how she is, as opposed to playing this cardboard cut-out 'badass' 'slutty' Slayer that a lot of other people seem to go for. So yeah, brilliant.

Same goes for Dawn, she's just superb. You've really developed her as her own person (which is tough, considering how VAGUE Joss is about so many things with her), and I admire that. Not to mention how much I can hear MT's voice in your tags.

...in conclusion, NEVER CHANGE, you rock.

[fluorescentness.livejournal.com]

Dean Winchester | fudgingkillyou
Levi Blakely | levilup

Yeah, so... my Dean voice has been failing me lately. People keep telling me it's okay, but I don't feel as confident with him anymore. Half of it is because Supernatural has been on hiatus, and the other half is because Levi invaded my brain and took over.

I'd really love to know what you guys think of Levi, too, since he's an OC. If you think he's being too Mary-Sue, or whatever. Lemme know. <3

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

Okay so I haven't watched SPN, AS YOU KNOW, but I love your Dean forever. Threading with him is always a blast, and I love the relationships we've developed between him and Buffy and Xander. I really hope you get your groove back with him, because he's marvellous.

Levi is a constant source of amusement to me, I think he's great. The whole glampire concept is sort of inspired, and I definitely feel with Levi that there's a strong character there-- the danger with a lot of OCs is that they can be sort of... lacking? Personality-wise. But with Levi this is certainly not an issue, and it's very fun reading stuff with him.

max guevara : aregulargirl
nyota uhura : ltnuhura

i only have a private HMD post up on max's journal (here (http://aregulargirl.livejournal.com/536.html)), but feel free to throw in concrit about uhura if you'd prefer to do this there. :)

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

I'm a bit rusty with Max's canon, but I've always thought that you were able to capture her attitude and, dare I say it, fierceness, quite marvelously. It's always fun to thread with her and hopefully at some point she and Cordy will bond even more :D

[faderbroderson]

The emo ubervamp, faderbroderson

Iiiif anyone has any ideas of what I should be doing or shouldn't be doing, I'm completely open to hearing them. I have a distinct lack of canon to work from, so hearing other people's interpretations is awesome and gives me clever ideas. He has an HMD on his journal, right here.

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

The fact that you have a distinct lack of canon, yet you are able to make Godric feel like a fully-fleshed out character, is a testament to how awesome you are. I'm always amazed with how wise and old you are able to make him sound, like every word from his mouth is chosen carefully and deliberately in order to reinforce these qualities :D

[re-formed.livejournal.com]

David Webb/Jason Bourne/ect. - re_formed

And I know I only came back very recently, but I'm really very open to crit. My hold on the muse feels shaky to me, I'm planning some canon review. There's also an HMD post on his journal, here (http://re-formed.livejournal.com/13972.html).

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

I must admit I really haven't seen any of the movies, so I don't know much about his canon, but I remember how much fun it was to thread with him both in the planning-the-party-post and the party-post last time :D We need to interact more!

Things I am looking forward to with a powerful amount of looking forward to: this.

And in general thank you for always being patient and willing to talk things out and throw ideas out there and find ways to make our crazy, tiniest-ever fandom continually rewarding and interesting.

[valaunbound]

Vala Mal Doran → (Stargate SG-1) → valaunbound
John Crichton → (Farscape) → frell_this_dren
Astrid Peth → (Doctor Who) → stardustflying

Having been away for so long, I'm worried their voices are rusty, John's especially :C They all have private HMD's on their journals too, I think at least *checks*

[beholdthedrums.livejournal.com]

I can't actually give much since I haven't watched VotD in eons... same with Farscape, sadly. At some point I will remedy this. ...actually same with all of them, but you definitely have Vala's voice strongly done, because despite not seeing SG-1 in ages, I can hear her. Which is always awesome and always an achievement, at that.

[beholdthedrums.livejournal.com]

The Master - beholdthedrums || Private HMD (http://community.livejournal.com/dreaminsanctity/10092.html)

Always appreciated.

[revivedqueen.livejournal.com]

The Master is just... fantastic. He's wonderfully egotistic and creepy and just, this makes me want to read up or watch his canon because I do love the way you handle his characteristics. He can be charming and snobbish at the same time, and I love it.

[missnoface.livejournal.com]

Leonard "Bones" McCoy | notsawbones | HMD (http://notsawbones.livejournal.com/1029.html)

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

Your Bones is wondrous. I recently rewatched Star Trek, which really reaffirmed that for me. His voice is perfect-- you have the cantankerous crankiness down wonderfully, as well as the convincing medical sci-fi jargon. I also love how you look deeper into his character (the issues with his ex-wife, the impact that has on him) and the complexities of his relationship with Kirk. Threads between those two are always comedy gold, and I really enjoy reading your stuff.

[notcrazy-honest.livejournal.com]

I'm currently on hiatus, but if anyone has any crit for my two characters, it'd be much appreciated. Especially now, when I'm sort of taking a breather and trying to get back to an RP mindset. Anyhoo, I play:

Spike | lessritual
Mohinder Suresh | chase_evolution

I'll probably be updating them both when I come back.

I am teh migraining (yes, again), so I will try to hit people up on this post when I am not. Hooray, lateness.

But in the meantime, <3333333 for all of you. :3

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

HOKAY so I haven't watched Heroes, so I can't comment on Mohinder, but.

Your Spike. I have played with quite a few Spikes in my time and none have been as good as yours. There seems to be a tendency for people to go either: all cocky swagger and no emotional depth OR mopey with no fire or sense of humor. Yours really encapsulates all the facets of his personality, and you have his voice down perfectly-- I can always hear JM in your tags. I love how you even capture the quirks of his body language, too.

So yes, in conclusion: best Spike ever.

I enjoy playing him. Lots. But whether that means I actually manage that well or not, I can't say. D:

[sgmitchell.livejournal.com]

I just said I loved Helen and John! They're very IC IMO (Though I think I missed some of Sanctuary S1, so I feel as if I have some gaping holes in my understanding of the canon)

Peter I have not yet interacted with, but I'd love to some time. (I think the only Heroes pup left out there that I play is Isaac, though, and that's been...awhile...xD)

My time schedule has been all over the place, recently, meaning my replies haven't been as synchronised to the rest of you, but... I try!

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

OH GOD YOUR CREEPY VAMPIRE BUFFY IS JUST. GOD.

Your back story for her - which I read at the wiki - is just fantastic and totally plausible. Man, not enough ways to demonstrate just how blown away I am with that story. Geez.

I'm very glad to be playing with you again, even though our characters now hate each other when in that other game they don't. Much. Well at least I think Dru didn't hate Darla :B

ACTUALLY COMMENTING WITH MY MUN-JOURNAL THIS TIME

[zarahjoyce.livejournal.com]

Oh god. I've been off the HP fandom for a few years now, but words cannot contain how much I glee'd when you intro'd Snape. The actual confrontation you and Flurry did as Snape and Levi made me glee, because I can totally see it happening. Plus Adrien Brody as your PB? A+++++++++.

So yeah, totally awesome to have you in Taxon :)
